This tbh....Michael D Angelo is fearless tbh...like Byron said Kobe is gonna LOVE him....Byron knows.,trust me they really vetted this pick...i heard Okafer came in and looked aweful....teams around the league said Russell should have went first....Minny drafted on need..I understand "....but its a PG league...
We have a of a backcourt with them two....awesome...did you see Byron grinning from ear to ear When discussing how they will play together
Both of them play with chips on their shoulders....they're serious
I dig the pickI don't think okafor will ever be anything special. At least with Russell, there's some small hope.
Also drafted an openly huge Clipper fan.
You guys (Laker fans) are ing re ed if you think "I'm mad."
Only 1 team led by a PG has won the le in the past 25 years, and as good as Curry is, he's supplemented by a great perimeter defense and plays in a modern system (Byron Scott is still stuck in the 90's). And it's funny how Lakers fans were talking up Okafor as the next Tim Duncan and the most polished big of the decade to come out of college and now all of sudden Russell was the "smart" decision.
Yeah, it's likely Russell was drafted in anticipation of trying to sign a big, but Love (no chance he's coming) and/or LMA would be terrible fits.
Since there was no top tier wing in this draft, the "smart" thing to do is draft a center, which is the Lakers weakest position outside of SF/SG. Bigs are a rarer commodity than PGs and are always the safer and "smarter" choice.
The Lakers ed up. End of story.

Any Laker fan here can send your dumbass a screen shot of the PM where I told them I was gonna troll Spurfan dumbass with the Okafer bull ....fact is you got played by me dawg...
It wasn't just you. Lakers fans from here to LG were head over heels for Okafor.Any Laker fan here can send your dumbass a screen shot of the PM where I told them I was gonna troll Spurfan dumbass with the Okafer bull ....fact is you got played by me dawg...
Drafting a PG at number 2
The funny thing is spur been ing since the first round because their HOF PG wasn't up to the task of carrying Jims sorry ass again. You need a good PG to win in the west. We have two.
You're right. But my implication was how do you expect Clarkson to move to the starting 2 spot when Kirby is going to hang around for another 3 years.
And Buss will pay that head. The merch sales to all the stupid s is too hard to pass up.
Parker has 4

And Okafor is nothing special either. Soft, no defense, turnover machine, chokes at the free throw line. Lakers were ed either wayIt wasn't just you. Lakers fans from here to LG were head over heels for Okafor.
Drafting a PG at number 2
Like the rest of your bets this year, you're having minimal to zero returns. Stick to talking about KobeIt wasn't just you. Lakers fans from here to LG were head over heels for Okafor.
Drafting a PG at number 2
Mid avoiding the fact Okafor is a non defensive center, who shoots a paltry 50% on the line with a questionable work ethic.
What?
The last 11 champions from the West had average PGs.
Derek Fisher. Average. Way below average defensively, even in his prime.
Tony Parker. Benched for Speedy Claxton and Steve Kerr. Typically had a net negative floor impact during all the Spurs playoff runs. And he was in' terrible during last year's run.
A 40 year old Jason Kidd. Average.
Meanwhile, the top two PGs of their generation (Nash and Chris Paul) have never sniffed a Western Conference le.
I wasn't high on him, either. This draft was super weak. But if there's a good big in the draft, you should usually take the gamble.And Okafor is nothing special either. Soft, no defense, turnover machine, chokes at the free throw line. Lakers were ed either way
No. I'm swimming in returns. Drafting a ing PG with the number 2 pick
Keep spinning it like it's "smart," though.
Again, delusion has clouded your head.No. I'm swimming in returns. Drafting a ing PG with the number 2 pick

I'm not the one deluded here. History and statistics (the impact of PGs) isn't on your side.
Keep selling Russell to yourself, by all means. There's not much to celebrate in Lakerland these days.
Somebody please post my PM where I said I'd with Mid on this Okafer bull ...
mid maaaaaaaaad as ! Damn.
I don't care about your opinion on Okafor. Every Lakerfan (aside from RSXPimp) on the net was high on him, and Local media here were creaming themselves.
DeAngelo Russellmid maaaaaaaaad as ! Damn.
Will Russell be a bust? Put that on record.No. I'm swimming in returns. Drafting a ing PG with the number 2 pick
Keep spinning it like it's "smart," though.
